Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did enough to get by: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Lions started one anyway for Oluwafemi Oladejo, 80 picks ahead of schedule.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Huzzie at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Hit on Josh Simmons and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 28 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 60 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd3 Barryn Sorrell
A real head-scratcher, Barryn Sorrell in the 102nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at Round 4, Pick 28 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at the 196th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alijah Huzzie at the Round 7 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at pick No. 244 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
